There are other things out there bigger than Pluto.  If you let Pluto
in, you need to count the other big KBOs, too.

It's a matter of definition, and no one owns a word. The IAU has chosen 
to adopt a particular definition, but that only specifies its meaning 
for the purposes of the IAU.

So there is no way of giving an absolute answer to the question "What is 
Pluto?"

No, no, the real question isn't "What is Pluto?", the real question is
"What is Goofy?".  Is Goofy a dog?  If so, why is Goofy a talking, bipedal
anthropomorphic dog while Pluto is an ordinary pet dog?

Goofy is Vincent's older brother. The procedure had improved slightly so that 
Vincent is a it more cognizant than Goofy.

*** Pluto always was a planet and will always be one.
Five Moons and a surface that shows traces of geological
activity ... what else is required ???

Keep in mind:  the same people who voted for Pluto to
be reduced to Dwarf Plane status are the same people
who voted for Obama and think that Obama is doing
a bang-up job.

Or maybe the people who think that Pluto is a planet are the ones who think that Obama is a Socialist and a Muslim rather then a U. S. citizen.

One can be all three, of course.  Though Obama isn't a socialist or a
Muslim.

Those who believe he's the first two would desperately like to 
believe the precludes the third.
